Top of the Rock tickets — FAQ
Is Top of the Rock better than the Empire State Building?
For photos, most visitors prefer Top of the Rock because the Empire State Building is in your view rather than the deck you're standing on, and the 70th floor is open-air with no glass.
What time should I book for sunset?
Choose a slot about 45 minutes before sunset — you'll catch the skyline in daylight, the sunset, and the city lights as they come on.
How long can I stay?
There's no time limit once you're up. Your ticket has a timed entry, but you can stay as long as you like across the three decks.
When am I charged?
Your card is authorized as a hold when you book. We capture payment only after we confirm your tickets, and release the hold if we can't.
Are SKYLIFT and The Beam included in General Admission?
No — they're upgrades over General Admission. Choose the tier you want and we confirm its exact venue price at checkout.
